Re-reading my speech in reply
to "State of the Union" I find
mistakes when I tendered
"Progressive Agenda"
restrictions on C-E-O swine.
And so I've prepared this addendum
about the "Progressive Agenda"
to shrink income-gaps
with taxes to cap
the riches to C-E-O's tendered.
My speech said when I was still young
the ratio measuring sums
for C-E-O pay
to what workers made
was measured at 20-to-1.
But now when I'm old 'stead of young
the evil the Bushies have done
has increased the gap
so now the same gap
has grown to 400-to-one.
For closing this gap I proposed
that tax laws be changed to impose
a top-earner tax
'til companies axe
the gap 'tween the highs and the lows.
However, through oversight made
by me I forgot to explain:
For gap-tax confections
Progressive Exceptions
in fairness must surely be made.
What helped me remember this need
were countless, contributors' deeds
that launched me to tender
Progressive Agendas
to furnish what poor people need.
Progressive Agenda attainment
permits disproportionate payment
of thousands-to-one
on top/bottom rungs
in industries like entertainment.
The Dream that Our Forefathers authored
was good, but Progressivist Authors
have wisely perceived
equality needs
that some be more equal than others.
